We hope the Teachers of Anderson will bear this in mind, and make an effort to attend the Association. They will find it both inter? esting and profitable. Mrs. L. G.

While in Greenville last week we had the pleasure of visiting the office and Mo? ratory of Dr. J. M. Westmoreland, the proprietor of that well known medicine, "Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic."

When wo go away from home it does us good to hear so many compliments paid to Anderson and our live citizens.

Their goods und prices will please you. Snovr in April, 1840. Our little paragraph last week in refer ence to this section having been visited by a snow storm on the 16th of April, 1849, has caused some discussion among our older citizens, and there is a difference of opinion as to the exact date. We have re? ferred back to the files of the old Anderson Gazette, and in the issue of that paper dated April 19th, 1849, we find the following: "The 'oldest inhabitant' does not perhaps recollect having witnessed such a spell of weather at this season of tbe year f.s we have had for the last five or six days. After some weeks of fine Spring weather, which had caused vegetation of every kind to clothe itself in Summer attire, and all na? ture to rejoice at the idea that Winter had taken its farewell for a season, on Saturday night last a sudden change was perceptible in the atmosphere, and on Sunday morn? ing it was quite cool and cloudy. Early in the day it commenced snowing in beau? tiful style, which continued for several hours, and we learn that in some places the earth was actually covered to the depth of an inch or two. Daring the night fol? lowing we had a severe frost ana freeze, killing every vegetable of a tender kind, and greatly retarding the growth of those of a more hardy nature. We fear that wheat, some of which is headed oat, will 03 severely injured. The weather has been all the week cold, unpleasant and blus.ery, The loth of April, 1849, and the cold spell that has followed, will be a time leng to be remembered by the inhabitants of this re? gion." ' The Stato Convention of the Y. M. C. A. The Twelfth Annual Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association of South Carolina convened in Greenville last Thursday night, 11th inst., and con? tinued in .session until Sunday night. About twenty-two local Associations were represented in the meeting, bringing together more than one hundred young men from nearly every section of the State, and making the largest Convention over assembled in the State. It was our privilege and pleasure to be present from tho beginnicg to tbe close of the Conven? tion. Greenville threw open her homes to the delegates, who were met at the depot u^ou their arrival by a reception Com? mittee and escorted to their respective quarters. The Convention held its session in the Baptist Church, which had been kindly tendered for its use. On Thursday even? ing a welcome meeting was held, at which Mr. J. A. McCollough, tbe handsome and energetic President of tbe Greenville As? sociation, welcomed tbe delegates on the part of his Association and the citizens bf Greenville. Prof. D. B. Johnson, the re? tiring President of the Convention, re? sponded on the part of tbe delegates, after which he introduced Dr. Jas. H. Carlisle, of Wofford College, who had been invited to address the Convention. Dr. Carlisle's subject was, "Why should we care for our youug men ?" and the address was just such an one as that distinguished gentleman is capable of delivering. The business sessions of the Con von tiun opened Friday morning, and a permanent organization was perfected by electing the following officers: President, Capt. W. H. Day, of Florence; Vice-Presidents, W. W. Gilreath, of Greenville, and J, M. McBryde, Jr., of Columbia; Secretaries, Warren DuPre, of Spartanburg, and J. R. Edwards, of Prosperity; Press Secretary, A. C. Jones, of Newberry. Th * various committees were then appoint .d the Convention went to work in earnest, de? termined to make good use of every min? ute. A very interesting programme had been arranged by the State Executive Commit? tee, the topics for discussion embracing every feature of tho legitimate work of the Associations, and as we listeuod to what was being done in other portions of tho State for the improvement and welfare of young men, we felt that Anderson was a long ways in the rear in this particular. The business of the Convention was dis? patched with promptness, and the utmost harmony prevailed throughout. The body was composed of earnest, intelligent young men, who seemed determined to gain as much information as possible as to the best way in which to get young men interested in religious work and to bring them into tbe Church. The report of the State Secretary, Mr. Coulter, was very encouraging, and the future work of the Association in tbe State has a very promising outlook. The presence of Messrs. J. R. Mott, one of the Secretaries of tho International Com? mittee, Geo. A. Hall, State Secretary of New York, Thos. K. Cree, of tbe Interna? tional Committee, and W. W. Smith, President of the Poughkeepsie (N. Y.) Association, added much to the interest of the'Convention. These gentlemen have been engaged in Associational work for years, and their addresses and suggestions throughout the Convention were highly appreciated by the member ;, all of whom gained much valuable information from them. On Friday afternoon, after tbe adjourn? ment of the Convention, tbe delegates wore tendered a reception at the rooms of i.he Y. M. C. A. by the Ladies' Auxiliary Association, at which refreshments were served. This reception was highly en? joyed by the delegates, all of whom were loud in their praises of the noblo ladies who had arranged it and assisted in car? rying it out. Right here we would say that the ladies of Greenville are deeply interested in tho moral and spiritual wel? fare of the young men of the growing city, and are working hand in hand with the members of the Association to bring young men to Christ. No greator evi? dence of this is needed than to point to the local Association of Greenvillo. This Association was organized about a year ago, and has a membership of about 240. The rooms are open every day in tho week from 9 o'clock a. m. to 11 o'clock p. m., and are in charge of Mr. C. R. Hardy, General Secretary. The rooms are most handsomely furnished, and supplied with good reading matter, including all the leading journals and magazines of the United States. A gymnasium and bath rooms are also ou the same floor. Theso rooms are a pleasant resort for the young men of the city. We were told that the ladles had contributed largely to furnish? ing the rooms. Our hopo and prayer is that Anderson may, at no distant day, have a large Y. M. C. A. and nicely fur? nished rooms-for its use. Tbe good citizens of Greenville left nothing undone that would tend to increase the comfort and pleasure of tbe delegates, all of whom would vote to hold tho next annual Convention thore were they not afraid of imposing upon the kind hospitality of the citizens. A Baring Store Bobbery Id Alt. Carmol. On April 10, when the sun was just peeping over tho horizon, the community of Mt, Carmel was thrown into unusual excitement on learning that the large brick store of W. N. Mercier & Co., near the depot, had been entered during the night and robbed. The fiends, not satis? fied with their plunder of about one hun? dred and twenty dollars, attempted to burn the store and stock of goods, worth seven thousand dollars or more. It is a miracle that the store was not found in ashes the next morning, as they had formed a stream of kerosene oil from the oil tank to a tierce of lard on the opposite side of tho room. Then using paper and other fuel, and matches by the gross, building fires on tLu oil tank and tierce of lard?both being cpt>n?yet the fires went out, foiling them in their fiendish attempt to burn, and exposing their plot. The citizens, generally, turned out with a determined purpose, scouting the sur? rounding country with tho determination of the redman of tho "Went. They soon got wind of their game long before sunset. The goods were recovered, most of which had been concealed under the large wagon scales at Capt. Cade's gin. Suspicion rested on a notorious negro, Bob. Partlow, who was soon under arrest. This was followed by the arrest of Allen Partlow, Gilbert Huff and Tutt Danford, all negroes. Unfortunataly Bob. Partlow broke loose from his guard at night, and is again at large. Tutt Danford turned State's evidence, and Allen Partlow and Gilbert Huff were committed to jail on warrants Issued by the Justice of Mt. Car? mel. Mercier & Co. offer a reward of $50 for the delivery of Bob. Partlow, which amount will likely be increased by the oitizens. He is fifty years old, nearly six feet high, copper color, sharp, bony face, shows his teeth, knees sink back, is pig? eon-toed, and wears a No. 9 shoo. The people are anxious for his arrest, and that justice will deal so strongly with them that it will be a rebuke to the vandalism that would destroy lifo and property by the wholesale to conceal a comparatively small theft.

Such a remarkable event is treasured in the memory and the agency whereby the good health has been attained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard in praise of Electric Bitters.
